Tong Family Cemetery
El Dorado County, California

To get to this cemetery coming
from Sacramento on highway 50 you take the El Dorado Hills Blvd. exit.
After entering onto El Dorado Hills Blvd you will pass the golf course and take a right
on Serrano Dr. Take Serrano to the end and turn right Silva Valley. Take Silva Valley
all the way down to Clarksville Road and turn left. The cemetery sets way back by the
highway and the only way to get to it is to go through the fields.

This cemetery is located in the north part of what used to be the town of Clarksville.
All that is left there is a couple of run down houses and a dilapitated Wells Fargo
building as well as the large barn of the Tong Family.

This was originally the Railroad House Cemetery in Clarksville, but it was later claimed by the Jess Tong family. Unfortunately this is on private property now and you are not allowed to get to the cemetery, without first asking permission.

I visited and read this cemetery on Nov 30, 2004.
This includes all existing and legible stones and markers. There are most likely many other burials here in unmarked graves.
